Good book really well wriiten

I gave the book 5 stars because it was very useful for my class however my only complaint would be that the book was missing 8 pages of chapter 15 that I did not know till reading that far and having a test on it. Ironically the test had 3 questions from those 8 pages and I was left to guess what my answer was. I still passed the class so I'm not mad. after the test was over it was a good launch but still annoying that 8 pages were ripped out. I'd love to one day know what the information says.
